yes, it's awkward for the "individual" who is longing for reliable expression

it also seems to be awkward for people who can't figure out the changes in the language they think as their own. They are irritated by their "disfigured" reflection

it's awkward for officials who need to make decisions (positive or negative) about the use of "inclusive" language

we give shape to languages and languages shape us

English could initially have neutral pronouns and people would be obliged to find other reasons to hate each other 🤷
